Even though there's a lot going on in this story, there seemed to be quite a few lulls. Fortunately, the many revelations kept it moving.

One of the things I like about Rachel is her ability to think her way through situations, especially when she's figuring out how to balance her magic skills with what she knows about the rules of her world. She's pressed to her limits in this story and learns so much about herself and her gifts.

I've not liked or trusted Nick Sparagmos and he doesn't do anything to change my opinion. Rachel's relationships expand and/or change significantly with some familiar names and some new ones. The jury's still out on some of them but they're infusing life in the series and are intriguing.

There's a moment with Trent that provides insight about the past as it relates to Rachel's father. With each story we seem to be learning more about Rachel's past and the implications on the present, which I find fascinating.

Marguerite Gavin continues her superb narration and it makes all the difference for me in staying in the story. Her characters are distinctive and her pacing is off the charts. I'll never go back to the eBook format.

I enjoyed the story and the action, though at times I thought they were unnecessarily drawn out. My most favorite scenes are where Rachel and Algaliarept (Al) match wits. You can't ever predict who'll end up on top. I'm very much enjoying the series.
